THE HOME DOCTOR.
Best Time to Battle.

1t is best to bathe just before going to
bed, says the London Lancet, as any dan
ger of catching cold is thus avoided, and
the complexion is improved by keeping
warm for several hours after leaving the
bath. A couple of pounds of bran put
into thin bag and then in thesbath tub
is excellent for softening the skin. It
should be left tn soak in a small quantity
of water several hours before being used.

Lemons in the sick Room.


The lemon is fruit much used in the
sick room, and, many times, unwisely.
Lemonade being a very refreshing and
agreeable drink, is easily taken in excess
by persons suffering from fevers, fact
which should not be forgotten. In ty
phoid fever, for instance, its immoderate
use would be attended with danger, in
ducing, as it might, additional derange-
ment in an already infamed intestinal
mucous membrane. In all infammatory
diseases of the stomach and bow
els lemonade should only be given
after the attending physician has
sanctioned its use. During the past few
years lemon juice has become quite pop
ular in the management of diphtheriafrom
the supposed action on the membranous
deposit in the throat. There have also
been attributed to the juice marked yir-
tues in the functional arrangement of the
liver, commonly called "bilious dis
orders" Some persons so affected have
found benefit from its persistent use.
The symptoms of others, however, have
been aggravated by it.-BOston Herald.

A San Francisco exchange tells that in

Secured a Bargain.

Yesterday Bell & Co. sold at auction the
Grand Hotel property, at Front and X
streets, and VIM. Land, of the Western
Hotel, became the purchaser for the low
price of S., 400. Peter wager, who bought
it few years ago. paid $4,000 for it, and
then it was thought to have been bought
cheap. The hotel was built about 1857,
and was kept as the What Cheer House by
Bailey Bros, subsequently by j. Peasley,
then by A. J. Senate and others. For
many years, when travel was mainly by
stage and steamer, the house did a great
business, its locality was among the liyeiest
in the city, and many thrilling incident
occurred there, especially when there were
vigorous opposition steamer lines running.
In course OF time the name was changed to
the Railroad House." and later il was
named the Grand Hotel" and for while
took on new life and was kept in first-class
style. Latterly the lower floor has been
used for business purposes, and tn. upper
stories as a lodging house. Mr.. Land has
not decided what he will do with his pur-
chase. At present it brings in $50 rent
per month, which is big interest on the
purchase money. A wholesale house has
offered to rent the entire ground floor and
basement, for term of years, if Mr.. Land
wishes 10 fit it up for them, and he may
make up his mind to raise the building
four or five feet and give it a thorough
overhauling and reftting.

The San Francisco Chronicle of Yesterday
gives the following explanation of the mys-
terry connected with the disappearance of
Title Smith, of Woodland, from the Bay
City last Saturday: From all accounts. If
seems that Tillie Smith, the Young girl
from the country whose disappearance last
Saturday, on the eve of her wedding. Gre
ated quite a sensation, has been seeing the
elephant IN quite an approved manner
since she parted from her intended husband
on Saturday afternoon. Instead of being
overcome by the busy whirl of the city and
getting lost in the streets, Tillie made
straight for Pete Dorcy's temple of Bacchus:
on Stockton street, and there delighted the
habitues by showing them how Jig was
danced In Woodland. With the customary
good nature of girls who are brought ND in
sight of green fields. and who enjoy plenty
OF fresh air, Tillie responded to several en-
cores and danced several more iigs. She
favored Dorcys with several social calls.
and in fit Of confidence, induced probably
by the heat of the room, told several of her
new friends that she was going to be mar
RED, but was on jam now. As soon as
get over it, she said, am going to marry
young man from Woodland She was
shown the items in the newspapers about
ner mysterious disappearance, and laughed
heartily over them. Title also visited Patsy
Hogan's symposium, on Eddy street, and
dropped in at the Cliff House during
her brief tour. From those who met her
while on the jam, it was learned that this
poor innocent from Woodland is an excel
lent jig dancer, is quite good looking and
not bad company. According to the Wood
land Mai Title Smiths reputation in that
town was not at all equivocal. She is said
to have there gone by the name of Tillie
Shelton, and to have been an inmate for six
or seven months of an establishment kept
by one Lou Belmont. On Friday, when
she accompanied S. E. Henry to San Fran
cisco, she told some friends that Henry was
talking to her about getting married, but
that she did not know whether she would
marry him or not"

Lowering the steps.

The Southern Pacific Company is hav-
ing the steps of all its passenger coaches
altered as rapidly as possible, so as 10 make
it easier for passengers, and especially la
dies, to get upon the car platforms. To that
end, there will hereafter be four steps to be
assembled and descended, instead of three,
and the lower one will be so near the
ground that even ladies in tight pull
backs " will be able to reach it without as
sstance. Sick people will find the change
q great convenience, and the last man
will be in less danger of failure TO secure q
good footing when ne makes his jump to
get on board. Railroad men say that,
while this change will be welcomed by the
travelling public, it has its disadvantages,
the principal one being that low step is
more apt to strike an obstruction by the
roadside, and, in case of its striking, the
step is almost sure to be knocked off, and
any one standing upon it hurt. Passengers
will do well, therefore, to bear in mind the
warning on the car doors, keep off the
platform, and the steps especially, and re-
main in the car until it stops.

were stolen ON the 9TH of last month from
the premises of John Hector. of Clay. to-
gether with watch, $50 in money and an
overcoat, by a tramp upon whom that gen.
tleman had taken pity and given food and
shelter. The police were notified of the theft
at the time, and took measures TO secure the
arrest of the thief. but without success. 1t
appears that the latter came to the city, put
the horse and cart in Mr.. Lockhardt's
stable and failed to return for them. Mr..
Steele settled the stable bill and took the
stolen rig back to its owner.

Col. Sim and number of other gentle
men were discussing the profits that theat-
rical managers make or say they make.
He was full OF contempt for the big,
round sums mentioned. That Is why he
said "pooh" 80 scornfully.

Barney McAuley and 1t happened years
ago. He was travelling with his "Jarvis
Section" and everywhere we heard ac-
counts OF his success. Audiences were de-
lighted, and when McAuley came back to
New York he was fondly greeted by crowds
OF friends and admirers. On the following
Broadway. The first friend he met asked
him how much he had cleared.
"Dear boy, made $30, ,000,' be said.
'He went farther; met somebody else.
slow much had he clearedS' he was asked.
"Made $40, 900 easily" replied he, glibly.
"By the time he had walked quarter OF
q mile Barney had made 100000 easily.
His exploits were nolsed around, and peo.
pie naturally didn't see why they should
be outdone. One day, about fortnight
after his return, met Barney setting on

"'What's the matter, BarneyH' asked.

been down on the square this morning, and
declare that there isn't soul there who
hasn't cleared over $4,000 this season.
And p-he burst into tears agsin-thought
I'd done so nobly with my $l5,0O0.'"
